Chapter 24.

"Stop looking at me like that" Sweet Pea growls at me as he runs his hand through his messy hair in frustration.

"Looking at you like what?" I ask looking down at my feet because it's too hard to look at his bruised face.

This morning Sweets and some other Serpents got into a fight with some group of Northsiders, and Sweet Pea has some cuts and bruises to show for it. It worries me knowing that he's out there getting into fights.

"You keep looking at me like I've done something wrong," he says lowly and I look back up at him.

"You have Sweet Pea, you have bruises all over your face" I reply gently moving my hand around his bruised eye. He flinches and I pull my hand away.

"It's just a bruise princess, you should see the other guy," he says smirking and I roll my eyes.

"You got into a fight Sweet Pea, with Northsiders. Northsiders, they could get you in a lot of trouble, faster then you can say Southside Serpent" I reply annoyed and I run my hand through my hair. Sweet Pea rolls his eyes and grips the lapels of his leather jacket.

"I knew it, I knew I shouldn't have gotten involved with a Northside princess, you keep trying to change me, but this is who I am if you don't like it, sweetheart. Find someone else to fulfil your needs."

"My needs?" I yell stepping closer to him and try to hold back from slapping him on the side of the face.

"Yes princess, your needs" he begins. "I know the only reason you're with me is because I saved you, you don't give two shits about me."

"That's not true and you know it" I yell poking his chest. At first yes, I caught feeling for Sweet Pea because he saved me, but once I got to know him I started to fall for him even more.

"Prove it then, show me that it's not true" Sweet Pea says as he places a piece of hair behind my ear. I grab Sweets hand examining his bruised knuckles and I gently kiss the purple and blue skin. Sweet Pea grabs my chin and tilts my head up to meet his eyes. "I wish you wouldn't worry so much about me, princess," he says before kissing my forehead.

"You know I can't help it," I say wrapping my arms around his waist. He wraps his arms around me and kisses the top of my head.

"I'm sorry for getting angry at you and for the stuff that I said."

"You were upset, it's ok" I reply, resting my head on his chest.

"How about for the rest of the day just me and you have a movie day?"

"Sounds great."
